In one of his most penetrating books, Peter Kreeft pondersthe terminal illness we all have: death. Kreeft envisions death's five succeeding faces: first as enemy, then stranger, friend, mother, and finally as lover. Throughout the journey, Kreeft moves logically and deftly, pointing out the necessity for understanding this profound mystery in order to live wisely. Kreeft's book is a new statement of the Christian vision: the meaning of our existence, and of death, is the fulfillment of our deepest and purest desire: the desire for the infinite joy and love of God.
